Peach-Vidalia Onion Relish with jalapenos is a sweet and tangy condiment that will take your hot dogs from drab to fab. Great way to use excess summer peaches.

We eat peach cobbler all summer long, but sometimes I like to do something a little savory with peaches too.

The heat is a wonderful complement to the sweetness of the peaches. It also has a splash of gin to help add a little kick.

If you have a large quantity of ripe, summer peaches (And I wouldn’t recommend this recipe for peaches that aren’t really ripe) that need to be used up, this is a great recipe to do it with. It makes a large batch of relish which can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or it can be canned.
